Anyone know where to find replacement segmented LED displays for three character displays (starting with 1)?

I have a S-305H LED display. Unfortunately several of the segments of the LED display are burnt out.

I did some searching and cannot find any LED character displays in this particular configuration: namely with a "1" followed by two additional numeric characters. Every LED I find is either two or three full numeric characters.

Does anyone if it's possible to source a replacement?

They burn because people remove all jumpers and start putting them back one by one 😅 Big no-no.

I don't know of any modern replacements. Last time I looked, the market had displays with digits too far away from each other. Whereas the old ones used to be tidy and nice. Even if you buy individual digits and lay them next to each other, you get too much spacing. I ended up sourcing a turbo display from an old broken case.

Hi, why not using the opportunity and getting a modern replacement alternative ? 😀
